I hooked my car up to my scan tool and I have no communication to the ECM. What could be the reason I have no communication to it?

The main reason for no communication is a blown fuse to the ECM or BCM.

Here is the location of the fuse panel and a guide to help you check them:

If all fuses check out then I would suspect a bad ECM.

Please let us know what happens so we can keep helping you.

Cheers, Ken
